Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in New Jersey

Your question is somewhat unclear and more facts are needed for a specific answer. Who might C owe a lot of money to? The State (like Medicaid), a general creditor and for what? In general a creditor cannot compel a trustee to distribute money from an irrevocable trust to satisfy the creditor's claim, but there are exceptions to the general rule. Plus, I have not seen the trust document so I do not know if distributions can be made for C and, if they can be,, under what circumstances, when and to pay what? Your (A and B) personal assets cannot be reached by a creditor of C, Also, there may be issues involving the house and a creditor's right to compel partition (forced sale of C's interest). Contact me with answers to my questions and I will try to provide more specific answers to your questions.

I have dealt with situations like this, and it can get very messy. I need more information to give you any advice. Why don't you call my office, and bring in the paperwork, and we will talk it over. I will tell you what I see. No charge for the first office meeting.
